Meyer v. Nebraska 1923The preferences of the parents are constitutionally more important than the preferences of the State in education. Pierce v. Society of Sisters 1925The court ruled that states can't force children to go to public schools and submit to government standardization if that violated their sincerely-held religious convictions. West Virginia State Board of Education V Barnette 1942Students cannot be forced to salute the American flag. Everson v. Board of Education 1947This case was the beginning of a stricter enforcement of a separation between Church and State in K-12 education.==== ==== Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kan. 1954Racial segregation of schools was ended because all citizens have "equal protection under the law."==== ==== Engel v. Vitale 1962It's unconstitutional to have an official school prayer to start the school day under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Abington v Schempp 1963It is unconstitutional for a school to require that at least 10 Bible verses be read aloud at the beginning of each day, since religious instruction by a public school violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.==== ==== Epperson v. Arkansas 1968An Arkansas statute banned the teaching of human evolution as fact in public schools, but the high court ruled that state and local officials cannot remove ideas from the course of study in public schools simply because those ideas conflict with the beliefs of religious groups, and that schools must maintain religious neutrality. Tinker v. Des Moines 1969Students have the First Amendment right to free speech as long as the exercise of them isn't materially disruptive to the school day. Lemon v. Kurtzman 1971Pennsylvania was reimbursing private schools for teachers' salaries, textbooks, and instructional materials, as long as the courses were secular or non-religious in nature, the same as in public schools, and the curriculum was approved by the State.==== ==== Wisconsin v. Yoder 1972Homeschooling is an "enduring tradition" in the United States, and Amish families didn't have to keep their kids in school past eighth grade because that requirement violated their freedom of religion.==== ==== Rodriguez v. San Antonio 1973Education is not a fundamental right under the federal Constitution, so those who were seeking "funding equity" for schools in less-advantaged areas went to the state courts.,==== ==== Parham v. J.R. 1979This case had to do with the rights of a minor child with mental health issues, but the majority opinion, written by the late Chief Justice Warren Burger, included a strong endorsements of parents' rights. Plyler v. Doe 1982Public schools have to allow the children of illegal aliens to enroll, and state and local tax bodies have to pay the costs. Island Trees School District v. Pico 1982Books in a school library that the school board deemed "antiAmerican, antiChristian, antiSemitic, and just plain filthy" could not be banned because they were not required reading, and school boards do not have the right to prescribe what is "orthodox" in books or to remove or suppress ideas in schools. Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier 1988Student journalists don't have the same "public forum" as adult journalists. They must obey censorship decisions by school officials since the school newspaper is produced as part of the school curriculum, under the guidance of a teacher during school hours, and students receive a grade for their work.==== ==== Westside Community Board of Education v. Mergens 1990This suburban Omaha district shot itself in the foot when it took a teenage girl all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court for starting an after-school Bible club in the school.==== ==== Zelman v.
